Directive Principles
In India, separation of judiciary from the executive is enjoined by
D.the conventional practice
C.the Seventh Schedule
A.the Preamble of the Constitution
B.a Directive Principle of State Policy
Correct Answer: Option B
The separation of the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the State is mandated by Article 50 of the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP).
The DPSPs are enshrined in Part IV of the Constitution and are not directly enforceable by the courts, but the state is expected to keep them in mind while framing laws and policies.
Article 50 specifically directs the State to take steps to separate the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the State.
Hence, the correct answer is that the separation of the judiciary from the executive is enjoined by a Directive Principle of State Policy.
